'That's right! It could only have been [Other Shore].'
'The four Great Daos of alchemy, artifact refining, dual cultivation, and beast taming were Empty Attained by the Sacred Sect Ancestor, perfected by the First Generation Peak Masters, and ultimately became building materials for [Other Shore]!'
